Long Weekend

This past weekend was one of our busiest all year. To start, Friday was Jeremy and my anniversary (5 years!) so he took off of work and we spent the day together. We started off just getting things done at the house and spending time with the girls. Then we packed up and all 4 of us went to B F Myers to look for a new bedroom suite. Jeremy's parents were gracious enough to give us one when we got married but we both agree it is time to get one we can call all our own. Unfortunately we didn't find one that we fell in love with but we did learn a valuable lesson...DON"T TAKE KIDS FURNITURE SHOPPING!! It's not that they didn't behave, it's just that we didn't get to spend the time looking like we wanted. once we left there we drove around a little, still house hunting, and eventually took the girls to Jeremy's parents house where they ended up spending the night! Thank you Harold and Cindy for doing that for us!!

Afterwards we went by American Signature to see what they had. At one time they had a set that I LOVED but it has since been discontinued and I've had a really tough time trying to find anything else that I like. Needless to say we didn't find anything there so off the went to eat at Olive Garden. I was almost a year to the date that Jeremy and I ate there together so it was nice. The evening finally ended with more driving around, a stop at Marble Slab, a stop at The Movie Gallery, and then home....I know we're real romantic!! :)

Saturday we got up, got the house together and then went back over to Jeremy's parents house to get the girls and go to a family reunion with his family. It is in Burwood (do you know where that is?) about 1 1/2 from us. It's a great facility with building, playground, ball field, and even mules next door! The girls had a great time playing and seeing those family members we only see at the family reunion. This was Carleigh's first family reunion as she was born the day of the reunion last year.

After the reunion we went back once again to Jeremy's parents house to kill the couple of hours between getting back and Jeremy's make up softball games that night. We didn't get home until about 9ish that night and the girls were worn out.

Sunday was Carleigh's first birthday!! We didn't really do anything because we are having her party this coming weekend. It was pretty much spent going to church and relaxing. I'm sure this next weekend won't be the same!

Whew did I get it all in? September always seems so busy for us...it'll be October before I know it!
